This week Chivas USA return home after a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against the New York Red Bulls, reigniting the West Coast- East Coast challenge. Chivas USA now look toward a rivalry a little closer to home – the SuperClásico. Although the Red-and-White haven’t fared well in the previous 28 derbies – winning four and drawing six – the Goats have a good shot at picking up the three points this time. It’s not going to be an easy task for either side. Chivas are a new team and have started the season strong, while the Galaxy have yet to find their rhythm.

Either way, the Galaxy are a strong and dangerous side, so the Red-and-White must stay on top of these three keys to win the first leg of the SuperClásico.

The first and most important factor will also be the hardest to accomplish: stop Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.

Donovan, or the Goat Matador, always shows up for the SuperClásico. Landon has scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists in 28 regular-season games against Chivas. The question that rises is how to stop him? The good news for the Red-and-White is Donovan just returned from international duty with the U.S. Men’s National Team from a not-so-friendly game versus Mexico. The bad news is Donovan did not start the game and only played the last 30 minutes.

Either it was because of “poor training,” or lack of rhythm, as US Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann put it, or because he was saving himself for Sunday’s match, Chivas USA will need all their resources to stop Donovan. The Goats will need to focus on three areas: 1) Eric Avila’s 1v1 defending, 2) Zavaleta covering Avila just in case Landon gets around and 3) the recovery of Mauro Rosales and Agustin Pelletieri to make Donovan deal with two or three Goats surrounding him.

I believe the most important piece to this puzzle is not letting Landon feel confident on the ball, and to get that, the Red-and-White players need to be tight and physical with him.

For me, Keane is a different type of player in MLS. He has shown over and over again his quality in front of goal and his ability to change the game. In their last league match, he made his goal against Real Salt Lake in their 1-1 tie look so easy and effortless. Keane doesn’t’ need a ton of chances to score, so Chivas USA will need to look at the center back pairing of Bocanegra and Zavaleta and make sure they are well rehearsed at closing Keane down.

In addition to those two, new Argentine signing Pelletieri needs to occupy the space that Keane likes to drift back into the midfield similar to what Kyle Beckerman of RSL did in their previous two meetings. Pelletieri will also need to look and double when Keane receives the ball against the two center backs.

The second key is going to be how both injury-plagued defenses handle each other’s attacking players.

As already mentioned, Donovan and Keane are going to be a handful but both Juninho and Marcelo Sarvas love to shoot from outside the box, while new signing Rob Friend is going to be a big presence in the box for crosses from Todd Dunivant and Stefan Ishizaki.

The Galaxy managed to outshoot RSL in their season opener, 27-9, in a game that LA eventually lost. Even if Galaxy Coach Bruce Arena opts for Samuel or Gyasi Zardes, you still will have a big presence in the box with Samuel and the speed from Zardes. Both Carlos Alvarez and Thomas McNamara are going to have to be diligent about marking Sarvas and Juninho, especially the closer they get to the goal.

On the flip side, Chivas USA have a new attacking look that has Erick “Cubo” Torres leading the league in goals with four tallies in four games. Mauro Rosales is another one that has proven to be an excellent signing. Not only has he provided leadership on and off the field but also his league-leading three assists.

The Galaxy back line has changed from game to game. And now with outside back James Riley out with an ACL injury, I expect AJ DeLaGarza to slide over to right back, where he played in the opening game against Salt Lake. This means that the center back pairing could be Leonardo and Omar Gonzalez. The question is whether or not Omar is going to feel the fatigue factor after traveling and playing the full game in the US-Mexico clash on Wednesday.

While I personally think Omar feels better next to DeLaGarza, making the pair a better center back for the Galaxy, I believe this is a perfect opportunity for the Red-and-White to be more adventurous and take on the opponent’s defense.

Finally, the third key to this game: set pieces.

Chivas USA need to make the most out of Rosales’ services and exploit the Galaxy’s defense on each situation. I am certain that last week’s stoppage-time equalizer off a corner kick by the Red Bulls was a heartbreaking wake-up call for the Red-and-White.

Depending on where the set piece is, the Galaxy will use Juninho, Keane or Donovan and will constantly look for Gonzalez as their main target. Just a few weeks ago, Gonzalez was able to flick the ball to Keane against Club Tijuana in a CONCACAF Champions League game. While defending set pieces, however, Gonzalez has shown he can get beat and fall asleep, as it happened Wednesday night on Rafa Marquez’s goal for Mexico and Alvaro Saborio’s goal for RSL. The tiniest details will matter in this game, and set pieces could prove to be the difference.

Out of the two teams it is a little easier to guess the starters for Chivas USA than the New York Red Bulls. The Red Bulls have already mixed and matched different players into their lineup each week. Coach Mike Petke is still trying to figure out who his best 11 on the field are and what formation is going to better suit them. Both teams will probably line up in a 4-4-2 formation, with quality attacking options up front and out wide. Chivas USA attack has started out strong, while NYRB has not taken flight yet but with the quality they have, they will find their wings. Both teams’ defenses have given up 6 goals this year already, and are looking to tighten that up.

I expect Henry and Cahill to start up keeping the Chivas USA defense busy. These are two players who have made a living playing at the highest level in Europe, scoring goals and providing assists. The Chivas USA players need to be at the top of their game to stop two world class players. As with any formation within a team it can become flexible in any given game to help adjust to the strengths and weaknesses of their opponent. Even though on paper it is a 4-4-2, look for either Henry or Cahill at times to drop into the midfield to find the ball and create a numerical advantage in the middle of the field. We saw Henry do this last week versus Chicago and although the Red Bulls dominated in possession, they created very few chances. It definitely can be a good thing to have a world class striker far away from your goal but he can also become provider for his teammates if Chivas USA aren’t careful. As a coach, I believe players should recognize where the good spaces for them to occupy based on the other teams tactics. Henry and Cahill are players that will work off each other and have a good understanding of occupying and freeing up space for the other. Cahill has already played in the midfield this season and has done it before in Europe, so he is no stranger to dropping back and receiving the ball, but I think he will stay high and battle with the center back pairing of Chivas USA and allow Henry to float around him. Those two players should be keeping Bocanegra and Zavaleta, busy throughout the game. Between the two, Bocanegra brings a lot of experience playing against the very best in the world; the test will be for on-loan converted to center back Zavaleta. He will have to adapt quick to his new position and rely on Bocanegra’s experience.

In the first 3 games of the season, the center back tandem for NYRB has not been the same. Usually a team has a solid center back pairing that know each other and work well together. I prefer to have some continuity and understanding within my backline. In my opinion it is crucial for NYRB center backs, whoever Petke decides to go with this time, to help cover each other. So far Coach Petke has had to make a change there for each game, either because of suspension or preference. The return of Spanish defender Armando from suspension should see him back in the lineup paired alongside Jamison Olave. The Chivas USA front line of Torres and Moore need to isolate the 2 center backs and play 2 vs. 2 and drive at them at all times.

Out on the flanks is where Chivas USA will have an advantage. New signing Barrera has featured in all 3 games with his ability to get by his player and serve a left footed cross has proven to be helpful to the Chivas USA attack. On the other side, also a new signing and one that has already paid dividends is Mauro Rosales, he leads the League in assists with 3 and was named to the MLS Team in Week 2. These 2 guys will be supplying the chances for Torres and Moore to finish. I believe that this is where Chivas USA needs to get the ball when in possession. This will force the Red Bulls to shift all the way over and help create more room for the two central mids to find the ball in good spaces.

In the midfield, it is going to come down to which team drops another player in the middle to help make a numerical advantage. The Red Bulls have dominated their opponents in terms of possession. However, they have only been averaging 9 shots per game and only scoring 1 goal per game. Without the reborn again Oswaldo Minda (still questionable due to last week’s injury), who in my opinion has been a force in midfield and a main reason Chivas USA has started so well, the other Chivas USA players will need to put pressure on McCarty and Alexander to limit the supply of balls to their attackers. Henry and Cahill don’t need that many chances to make you play for your mistake.

Both teams will rely heavily on their goalkeepers for this match up. Long time goalkeeper for Chivas USA, Dan Kennedy, has been very consistent throughout his time with the Red and White and offers some stability to the defense. Luis Robles for NYRB has saved his team from a tougher start. Against Vancouver he made a couple of saves that kept the score line only to 4. He is 3rd overall in MLS with 14 saves. Both keepers will need their gloves on for this one as past meetings have proven to be high scoring affairs.

Chivas USA striker Erick “Cubo” Torres notched his 10th MLS goal last Saturday in just his 18th career match and is now tied as the Red-and-White’s sixth all-time leading scorer. With the season heading into Week 4, Torres is in range to ascend to former Chivas forward Juan Pablo Angel’s fifth spot with 11.

To commemorate the 21-year-old’s scoring barrage, here is a highlight-reel of his goals since joining the Rebaño Angelino. Here’s to you “Cubo” and the 10 times we have had the chance to do the “RoboCubo” celebration with you and for the many more to come!
